CREAM-CONE FILLER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it'known that I, JOSEPH EDWARDS, a

citizen of the United Stat-es,"residing at Duncan, in the county of Stephens and State of Oklahoma, have invented ,a new and useful Cream-Cone Filler, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to ice cream cone fillers and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts as hereinafter shown and described.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and effective hand implement adapted to receive an ice cream cone and which may be dipped into a can of ice cream or the like whereby the cone may be rapidly filled without danger of breaking or injuring the The filler is provided with an annular rim hingedly attached to its which is adapted to protect the edge of the cone during the filling operation and said filler is further provided with" a plunger adapted to be manipulated for the purpose of elevating the upper edge of the cone above the filler so that it may be readily removed therefrom. 'I

'In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the filler. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

The filler includes a conical hollow body 1 to which 'is attached a laterally disposed handle 2. A guide 3 is, mounted upon the loweror outer portion of the body 1 and the lower portion of th e'said body and the lowerv portion of the' said guide areslotted as at 4 (see Fig. 2). A slide 5 is loosely mounted in the guide 3 and is adapted to move longitudinally thereof. A handle 6 is fixed to the said slide and projects beyond the guide 3 and the side of the body 1. The

said handle 6 is located under the handle2.-

adapted to overlap the upper edge portion of the body 1 when the said ring is closed down upon the body and the said ring 9 is Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 25, 19111. Application filed August 2, 1909. Serial No. 510,813.

upper cutting edge 12.

The body 1 15 adapted to receive an ice cream cone 13 which when in posltion upon the body rests at its apex in thecup 7 and its edge lies under an niwardly disposed an- 2 and the parts of the filler are also in posi tion as illustrated in the said figure it is apparent that the larger end portion of the body 1 may be dipped into a vessel containing the ice cream and that the cream will be cut by the edge 12- of the ring 9 and forced into the bodyof the cone 13 without coming in director frictional contact with the edge thereof. Thus the said cone 13 may provided with a relatively sharp annular be filledwith the ice cream without damaging the cone. When the cone has been filledthe filler is lifted out of the ice cream vessel and the operator depresses the lug 10 whereby the ring 9 swings up upon its axis above the upper edge of the body 1. Then the operator passes a finger under the handle (Sand elevates'the slide 5 and its attachment. Thus the cone 13 with its contentstis raised in the body 1 and the upper edge'of the cone projects beyond the upper edge of the said body. Theoperator may then grasp the upper edge of the cone 13 and lift thesame filler.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

and its contents from the In a device for filling ice cream cones, the

combination with a holder adapted to receive a cone. said holder having a rabbeted outer edge, of a displaceable rim havinga cutting edge, and a depending flange adapted to fit into the rabbeted portion of the holder, said rim also'having a shoulder projecting inward over the upper edge of the holderand adapted to protect the upper edge. of the com in said holder.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
